Matt Cameron is the current drummer for Pearl Jam. Now that he has rejoined the band, it is the original group that formed Temple of the Dog earlier, besides Chris Cornell. After Temple of the Dog broke up, Matt and Chris Cornell went on to form Soundgarden(another excellent band), and Matt was replaced with Dave Krusen(at the bottom of the page). Now that Soundgarden is broken up, Matt has rejoined Pearl Jam, and it's gonna be sweeeet.

Jack Irons was born in Los Angeles, and is the fourth drummer in Pearl Jam, following Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlain, and Dave Abbruzzese. He also sports several tattoos, which of course is a requirement of anyone that is or ever was a member of The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dave Abbruzzese was the third drummer for Pearl Jam, but not much about him is very special until he got fired. All that is known so far is that he was fired by Stone, during breakfast, around August 1994. The story released to the media, at first, said that it was an amicable split and that Dave left the band to study music. Then Dave A. later released to the press his version of the story. According to Dave A., he was fired by the band for reasons that are still unclear to him. Why the band released the first statement that Dave left the band is still unknown. Jack Irons is now the official drummer for the band.

Matt Chamberlain was Dave Krusen's replacement as the drummer for Pearl Jam. Matt can be seen in the Alive video. Matt later left Pearl Jam to join the Saturday Night Live band, suggesting as he left that Pearl Jam check out a drummer named Dave Abbruzzese in the Texas funk band, Dr. Tongue. Chamberlain's previous efforts include Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians. He is now fronting a band called Critters Buggin, which includes saxophonist Skerik formerly of Sadhappy and bassist Brad Houser. They play largely instrumental jazzy alternative music which is difficult to describe but excellent to listen to. They have a CD out, named Guest which was co-produced by Stone Gossard and they are playing under Stone's Loosegroove label.

Dave Krusen you hear on the skins on the album Ten. Dave left the band in 1991 to attend to personal problems at the time. Dave K. is currently drumming for the band, Luma (he has also been in Candlebox and Beth's (Ed's wife) band, Hovercraft.
